Spectrum should work better using the Google Chrome browser. It is, by a huge margin, the most used browser. Getting a "Page Unresponsive" error every single time I try to go back to my dashboard is not acceptable. My "My Current Workflow Assignments" widget is almost always empty. Not because there's not anything there, but because it just won't load. Refresh, and "Page Unresponsive" 2+ times until it loads. It's incredibly frustrating. Having to use a second (dying) browser just to keep a website from constantly choking is a pain.
I know developers like Firefox, but you can't forget usability.

Almost all we do is through Google. It is really important that Spectrum work with Google in all areas. Our success depends on it.
Browser agnostic in general would be good i.e. the functions should be identical across all browsers including Chrome, Safari, Edge (chromium), Firefox, etc.
I wish that was the case. I have the most recent version. I updated just in case and nothing has improved. I just checked with the rest of the department and the rest of the accounting department has the same problems. Multiple "not responding errors" when trying to return to the dashboard and when the dashboard does come up, the widgets are empty.
Jennifer - have you upgraded to the most recent Chrome version? I use Chrome for Spectrum and don't have the issues you're talking about, maybe I'm just lucky but you may want to try checking your version. I'm on version 81.0.4044.113 if that helps.
